Somewhere

loss,loneliness and longing

Somewhere in my aching heart,

I know I will be found.

Somewhere in my faithful heart,

I know I will be loved.

Somewhere in my fearless heart,

I know I wont be alone.

Somewhere in my trusting heart,

I will feel safe again.

For there are hours to be alone,

day's to contemplate.

Existance has taken over,

Living is only good for the sober.

Somewhere in my thoughtful heart,

My memories will come back.

Somewhere in my hopeful heart,

I will see another dawn.

Somewhere in my tainted heart,

I'll see your tragic smile again.

Somewhere in my broken heart,

I hope you come back to me..just for a while.

"Somewhere in my aching heart,
I know I will be found."...deep down all the sorrow, longing and loneliness in our hearts, we, the lost and the broken, have that little spark of hope to be found and be loved again...that's a very good beginning.
"Somewhere in my broken heart,
I hope you come back to me..just for a while."... and there comes the content of accepting just a little...awesome ending.

This is sad but very beautifully penned. " Poetry indeed spills from the cracks of a broken heart and flows from the heart that is loved " ...

Many thanks Neil,thanks fro taking the time to read it.

I loved the bittersweet twist at the end. It really ended the piece well. Good job! :-) My only concerns are a few minor grammar things and the use of italics. I feel like achieving unity in this piece requires either the full use of it or the complete omission of it. It's just a suggestion, and I nonetheless thought the piece was wonderful. :-)

[Bob Sherunkle]

No,that' ok.It was something i "Knocked up" in 5 minutes.I'll have another look over it.Changing these areas can change the meaning.Thanks for taking the time to read it Jared,much appreciated

[Jared Michael Smith]

Of course! :-)

[Bob Sherunkle]

Oh,and I'm not try to be pretentious in anyway by saying i knocked it together in 5 minutes,I just write fast as I'll forget what I was trying to get at !!

[Jared Michael Smith]

Lol, nice. I often have to do the same thing before it leaves me and never returns. :P

[Bob Sherunkle]

Thanks.I've got some others i'll be posting later.One day i'll write something cheery...

[Jared Michael Smith]

You don't need to worry about it being cheery. Most great poetry isn't; look at Poe. ;)

[Bob Sherunkle]

Ha ha,agreed.Still beautiful though.

[Jared Michael Smith]

Quite so! :-)
